About

Whether you have followed the music of the Lesters for years – or you’re just finding out about us for the very first time – we are so glad you’re here. We hope you will take a few minutes and catch up on the latest news of what God is doing through this ministry around the country.

Simply put, we love music. . . and we love introducing others to Jesus Christ through our music and personal ministry. It’s a passion that began with our grandparents, Harvey and Opal Lester, in 1925. And it’s one that has endured to the third, fourth and fifth generations. In fact, this year our family is celebrating eighty-eight wonderful years of sharing the Good News through Gospel music. And we’re more excited now than ever before!

One of our highest priorities is to remain real and relevant-never losing sight of the Message, but always challenging ourselves to elevate the sound and quality of our music in order to better reach today’s generation.

Easter at the cave

Easter Weekend Celebration at Meramec Caverns will be held Saturday, April 4th & Easter Sunday, April 5th, 2015. We genuinely love what we are privileged to do every week throughout the year and that is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and Easter services at Meramec Caverns has to top the list because it's the story of everything we're about. This event features the Lesters doing the singing and a cast of many friends that portray the crucifixion and the resurrection. This production is presented in pageantry and song the Saturday evening before Easter and Easter Sunday morning. Come join your hosts, the Lesters, as we celebrate Our Risen Savior! Bring someone who needs to hear the Good News! No admission charge.

ministry support group

Many friends have asked how they can be of help to this ministry. Naturally...PRAYER is the most important. Another way is financial support. Unfortunately, love offerings and CD sales are not enough to offset the rising costs of fuel and challenges of a full-time ministry. It is clear to The Lesters that the Lord wants this ministry to continue, but very honestly, we need others to stand with us.

We are praying for 150 friends (or more) that could donate $15 per month to The Lesters' music ministry. We truly believe that with MANY helping, this ministry will continue to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask that you make please make this a matter of prayer.
